Another Caution About Online Health Records

This is a risky term! Health care information should not be distributed automatically. Each time it is distributed, it should be documented, stamped and deliberate. Our system provides this information.

If I understand you correctly, Online Medical Clinic is already online.
The problem is access to rather than transmission of medical information.
The information is stored on a server somewhere. If the company uses a "virtual" system, then their records are stored there. Using our system, staff can send and receive ePHI by using any authorized computer, a file can be "transfered" via their software and attached to an electronic transmission message and sent to anyone who has authorization to receive it. Authorization is the key word here... no need for end receiver to have access to the medical clinic's "online system" or server.... sounds complicated, but it isn't. Once established, the system is as easy as setting up any online email account, but secure and interoperable.

I see the issue distributing personal health information the same today as before the fax machine allowed easier communication between med. facilities.
There is hope! The next technological step is, believe it or not, Keep The Records to Yourself, on you own system until it is needed by someone else. Then send via a HIPPA compliant electronic transmission system to anyone, anywhere, safe, then they keep it on "their" system. Sound too simple. If you have an interest and would like a test drive, contact me. You won't believe it! 1-866-299-0063.
